you want know what happen===Hearing loss=== Hearing loss exists when there is diminished sensitivity to the sounds normally heard.Cite error: The <ref> tag has too many names (see the help page). The terms hearing impairment or hard of hearing are usually reserved for people who have relative insensitivity to sound in the speech frequencies. The severity of a hearing loss is categorized according to the increase in volume above the usual level necessary before the listener can detect it.


Deafness is defined as a degree of impairment such that a person is unable to understand speech even in the presence of amplification.[1] In profound deafness, even the loudest sounds produced by an audiometer (an instrument used to measure hearing by producing pure tone sounds through a range of frequencies) may not be detected. In total deafness, no sounds at all, regardless of amplification or method of production, are heard.
